Product Description

James Taylor's "One Man Band," a new CD/DVD set of live recordings and the stories behind the songs. The set list is drawn from Taylor's recent concerts at the Colonial Theatre in the Berkshires and features new performances from some of the iconic singer/songwriter's most beloved recordings including "Something in the Way," "Carolina in my Mind," and "Fire and Rain," interspersed with Taylor's insightful and humorous anecdotes on the inspiration for the songs.

For the DVD portion of "One Man Band," Taylor called on veteran television events producer and director Don Mischer ("Kennedy Center Honors," and "Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show with Prince") and executive producer and acclaimed filmmaker Sydney Pollack ("Out of Africa," "Sketches of Frank Gehry") and their extensive talents to properly capture the feel of the live concerts. "One Man Band" tells the story of Taylor's songs through exclusive interviews and rare multi-media footage, including home movies and photographs from Taylor's personal archives. The result is an extraordinary, one-of-a-kind portrait of an artist, his renowned repertoire and the personal stories behind the songs.

Over the course of his career, James Taylor has sold over 40 million albums, and won over 40 gold, platinum and multi-platinum awards as well as five GRAMMY® Awards. Taylor's first "Greatest Hits" album earned him the RIAA's elite Diamond Award, given for sales in excess of 10 million units in the United States. In 2000, Taylor was inducted into both the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the prestigious Songwriters Hall of Fame. In February 2006, The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences named Taylor its MUSICARES Person of the Year.

From the Artist

"This set is an intimate retrospective of 40 years worth of songs and the people, places and events that inspired them," said Taylor. "I am very grateful to Don Mischer, Sydney Pollack, and Hear Music for taking great care with what are very personal songs for me and my fans."

FIre and Rain,Music for 20th and 21st Century
His music accompanied my first love and my first heartbreak and my first venture into portrait painting.Also my first police detainment at Tanglewood on a Fourth of July a couple of years ago when I was supervisingtwo kids and two friends and the cops thought that we were inebriated when we were just having such a goodtime with the music...ended up a miracle cause they gave us a special place to listen and view the fireworksand treated us like foreign royalty. (true story)...but James and I both share a love for the Berkshires and a lovefor acoustic folk and Appalachian and mountain music and landscapes. I am so happy that he and I both haveendured and his music is still the miracle and loving,humble,exquisite prayer to us to endure and create.
